She believes our attitude can either make us or ruin us as people perceive us in illumination of our attitude towards life and other people. She works hard in order to reach her dreams and goals so as to impact the lives not only of her family members, but also the society at large. Everything she does is based on the fact that who we are today is out of what happened to us yesterday and that personality is a dynamic concept and one tends to imbibe things which they learn out of daily experience.
